Capital Partner LPA Counsel for Dental Practice Management Acquisitions
Drafting Capital Partner LPA on dental practice management deals, with the structure protection and capital connectivity an independent sponsor actually needs.
The economics on a dental practice management platform deal usually hinge on a handful of structural decisions. Capital Partner LPA is one of them.
The typical dental practice management platform sits at $10M to $130M EV with EBITDA in the $2.5M to $22M range. The thesis runs on DSO buy-up under an MSO. Insurance mix dictates valuation. Read the PPO contracts before the EBITDA.
How Capital Partner LPA actually gets structured.
Anchor on a 20 percent carry above an 8 percent preferred return, 50/50 catch-up.
Build a one-vote, one-LP majority for any waterfall change.
Define key-person and removal-for-cause provisions narrowly.
Make distributions quarterly, with an annual true-up against the waterfall.
In dental practice management, layer in MSO model documented per state as part of the Capital Partner LPA workstream.
Reusing a fund LPA template for a deal-by-deal structure. The economics, governance, and waterfall need to be different.
"The LPA outlives the deal. Draft it like the next ten deals will be governed by the same paper."Jason Powell · Capital Partner LPA
The deal is one thing. The capital that opens up after close is another.
Refinancing, recaps, growth rounds, and the right strategic conversation eighteen months early are all downstream of relationships that take years to build and minutes to use.
